Ukraine Gate – Kyiv – June 9, 2022- President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Russian blockade of the Ukrainian Seaports Union could cause material shortages of food in dozens of countries and starve millions.
It was the Russian fleet that closed the ports of Ukraine on the Black Sea, leaving the world on the brink of a terrible food crisis, which is not just a price crisis, and wheat, corn, vegetable oils and other products that played a role in stabilizing the world market could not be exported. There will be a physical shortage of products in dozens of countries around the world.
The head of state stressed that if the Russian blockade of the Black Sea continues, millions of people may starve.
The president said he is constantly talking with world leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, about lifting the Russian blockade of Ukrainian ports and restoring freedom of navigation, which he said is one of humanity’s fundamental freedoms.
